I’ve often said that if I were Czar, one of the first things I would do is shut down all the Colleges of Education.
Heck, we used to do just fine teaching elementary school with high school grads, arguably better than we do now.
When we taught elementary school with high school grads, these were mostly women of intelligence from the middle
class who wanted a job they could do until marriage. Or they were older women whose kids had grown and left.
Teaching worked out if and only if the teachers were drawn from the upper IQ range. That is not happening now.
